Chapter 20: The Challenge

The place where Zhou Wenbin feasted was in the Wenxiang Pavilion, which was actually a flower pavilion, surrounded by clusters of flowers in full bloom, with a fragrant fragrance and refreshing people's hearts.

Moreover, he recognized these flowers, he identified them from the perspective of medicinal materials, and these bright flowers were actually medicinal materials, and some were even poisonous.

Many of the other people who followed behind couldn't recognize so many varieties of flowers, so they asked the two Zhou brothers one after another, and some of them couldn't even say the names of Zhou Wenbin, so they still answered from the side.

"Besides, little brother, I have admired my name for a long time, and I really deserve it. A scholar in his twenties greeted him.

"Yes, I even know such unpopular knowledge as flowers and plants. The other chimed in. seems to be flattering, but it is not without contempt, and the word unpopular is a pun.

The Zhou brothers glanced at each other, and they all thought it was funny, they were really full of notices posted on the street, and there were illiterate people, and Master Lian had already picked out his attitude, and there were even people who were not interested.

The so-called unpopular is actually mocking the fact that he was born in a medical family, not a scholarly family, this person's surname is Shen, his name is Bo, the word Yuanjie, is a distant relative of the famous painter Shen Zhou in Wuzhong, and his family background can also be said to be a generation of scholars, and his ancestors have already produced a champion in the Yongle Dynasty.

Shen Bo has always been conceited, and he will express his disdain for all families who have not been admitted to Jinshi. The Zhou family is rich, and Guo Zhong is also a famous miracle doctor in Suzhou, in his eyes, these are not worth the fame of a Jinshi.

Moreover, seeing that this person was of medium stature, with a cold face, and a pair of eagle eyes with a lot of madness, he was already angry in his heart, and sneered:

"It's Brother Shen Bo, your mansion can be described as the king of Wuzhong and Xie, but I heard that Brother Shen's branch has been unpopular for three generations, I wonder if the popular knowledge is too extensive?"

Shen Boden was speechless. When he was about to have a seizure, a person next to him hurriedly pulled him aside and whispered a few words in his ear.

Only then did he know that Master Lian Daning Lian came here today, and he actually wanted to protect himself from being bullied by others. He was a step late, he didn't know about it, and when he heard about it at this time, he also regretted Meng Lang.

Alas, even the glory of the ancestors is not worth the dignity of the current prefect.

"It's all a joke, no talking, no laughing, no fun, right, brother. Someone smiled and reconciled the two.

Besides, when he saw this person, he suddenly thought of a person, he hadn't seen it, but subconsciously felt that it should be this person, so he said: "Please forgive the little brother, this is Brother Wen Zhengming Wen?"

"This will disappoint you, contemptible Wen Zhengchen, a single name. The man you're talking about is my cousin. Let me tell you again, I am most annoyed that others always make it clear in front of me, as if he is the only one in our literary family. ”

This person seems to be smiling, and he doesn't know whether he is really unhappy or fake.

Besides, he hurriedly surrendered his hand to make amends: "It's no wonder that you are offended." ”

"Besides, you take it seriously. Wen Jie mixed in with these people, and gradually felt like a fish in water, and said with a smile.

"Zhengchen, don't bother with this, whoever asked you to learn calligraphy and painting is not as good as Zhengming. Zhou Wenbin also interjected and squeezed him with a smile.

"Hey, back then, Wu Zhong only knew that there was me Wen Zhengchen, who knew Wen Zhengming? He was talking about his "past" before he was fifteen.

Everyone present nodded yes. Besides, the days of returning to Suzhou are short, so naturally I don't know the details. However, it can also be heard that the prodigy of the year was Wen Zhengchen, but the prodigy did not grow up later and became mediocre. However, Wen Zhengming, who was not eye-catching at first, came to the top and became a great talent in Wuzhong.

The so-called Wuzhong was a geographical term at that time, specifically referring to Wuzhong District of Suzhou Prefecture, which was called Wuxian County in ancient times, and later also referred to the area near Suzhou.

"Wenbin, you should be careful, maybe when everyone only knows Wenjie, and no one knows you Wenbin. Wen Zhengchen pointed at Zhou Wenjie and teased Zhou Wenbin.

"I can't ask for it. Wen Jie, you hurry up, just do what Zhengchen said. Wen Bin hugged Wen Jie's shoulder with one hand and smiled, his face full of brotherly filial piety.

"It's impossible for me, but one day in the future, when people mention Wu Zhongcai, I'm afraid they will only remember that besides, it's none of our business. Wen Jie was disgusted that someone was squeezing him, so he had to raise the situation and fight back against the other party.

Moreover, although he has just debuted, he is the first disciple of Chen Musa in Wuzhong, and this alone is enough to look down on everyone.

"Brother Besides, it can be said that he became famous all over the world overnight, and I heard that Old Master Chen specially came to the house to accept you as a protΓ©gΓ©, but is there such a thing?" Wen Zhengchen asked.

"Why not, I was there at the time, and Old Master Chen also sent him a hand-copied Baisha quotation, which is the mantle representing the Chen faction. Wen Jie said triumphantly, as if it were his glory.

"What?!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, if it came from someone else's mouth, everyone would not believe it, the mantle is so heavy, how can he casually promise a fifteen-year-old weak-crowned boy? Even if he is a genius prodigy, it is too much.

It's just that although Zhou Wenjie is not as talented as his brother, he has always been true, and everyone can trust him. Because of this, it has become more and more suspicious, and they all feel that it is too amazing, and some can't see through him.

"Brother Guo, Shicai has no intention of offending, don't blame. Shen Bo came over and said.

"Brother Shen is unintentional, so how can he offend. Besides, the atmosphere made everyone present secretly praise in their hearts.

"That's it, Brother Shen has no intention of offending, and Brother Shen is not at ease, this matter is over, don't mention it again. Zhou Wenbin, as the host, also seems quite decent.

However, Shen Boqiang's pretended smile was still mixed with a hint of ruthlessness and cunning, although it was only for a moment, it did not escape the eyes of the worse.

Besides, he thought to himself, could it really be that he couldn't make a family? He also knew that it was a bit too much to expose the scars of the Shen family just now, but he was really angry at the time.

What about offending? Besides, he smiled, turned his head to look at the flowers around him, and really left this matter behind.

Zhou Wenbin swept the corner of his eyes, seeing this scene, he knew that the two of them had been born, and there was no way, but fortunately, when something really happened, Lian Daning came forward to mediate, and he was not afraid that the Shen family would not bow his head.

Zhou Wenbin, who was helpless, had no choice but to interrupt and ask: "Zhengchen, why didn't Zhengming come, he said it the day before yesterday." ”

"Originally, he planned to come with me, but he was taken away by Brother Bohu early in the morning, saying that he had designed a garden and made it mysterious. Wen Zhengchen said.

"Garden?oh, no wonder Brother Bohu can't catch the ghost shadow these days, it turns out that he is designing the garden for others. A few days ago, they came to my house and took away the drawings of this garden. Zhou Wenbin said as if he had an understanding.

"It's to design a garden for Lord Wang's Imperial Shigong, not an ordinary garden. Shen Bo interjected, and continued:

"Lord Wang and my Shen family are also world friends, and I heard that I was tired of being an official in the capital, so I wrote to the emperor and resigned and returned to my hometown. The emperor repeatedly refused, but the king had no choice but to go, the emperor had to allow, and personally sent out of the capital, and saw the king get on the sedan chair. ”

"How did I hear that Lord Wang offended a few bigwigs in charge, and he was so unhappy that he was depressed, so he decided to resign and return to his hometown?" Zhou Wenbin's face was a little unbearable, and he had to make up some lies, and the emperor personally sent him out of the capital, you should be Liu Bowen.

"No, no. Shen Bo's head shook like a rattle, "This is what Lord Wang said to his father personally, can there be a fake? My uncle in the eighth room said the same thing in the letter sent back to Lord Wang in the imperial court. ”

He looked at everyone quite proudly, as if he had climbed into a relative with the emperor through Wang Yushi.

There are also those who believe in it, and they are envious, and those who understand can't help but laugh secretly in their hearts, no wonder Shen Bo's three generations have not been lifted, and it seems that this generation has no hope.

Unless the imperial court changes the eight shares into a lie contest, there is still a little hope.

"Without further ado, let's go into the pavilion. Zhou Wenbin really couldn't listen to it, and he couldn't stand it anymore.

For the court and the emperor, his family news is the most well-informed. Seeing that someone told such a big lie in front of him, as the master, since he couldn't expose it on the spot and didn't save face, he could only avoid it.

"Go inside, then here's ......"

Except for Wen Zhengchen, the rest of the people were stunned, thinking that they had come to the Wenxiang Pavilion and didn't want to be outside. But where is it inside?

"Brothers, let's talk first, there are a few daughters in it, and there are female dependents, everyone wants to joke or something, please pay attention to proportion. Zhou Wenbin said again.

"Miss daughter?" Everyone is even more confused. Didn't you say that it was a collection of Wenhui Yaji, why did a beautiful woman pop up?

Wen Zhengchen suddenly realized: "It can't be that the eldest lady of the Yun family is also here, right?"

"Not only her, but also Chen Zhengjun's nephew, and a few others, all of whom brought maids, so I remind everyone, please be sure to give me face. Zhou Wenbin arched his hand as he spoke.

"Of course," Shen Bo patted his chest, "I am a polite scholar, how can we have rude words and deeds in front of other people's daughters, Brother Wenbin can rest assured." ”

He didn't say that it was okay, but Zhou Wenbin was really worried, and he regretted that he had Zhang Luo this party. However, the matter has come to this point, and we can only continue to go on.

Passing through a flower wall, there is another corridor, and at the end of the corridor is an arched door.

"Wen Bin, what kind of fame are you doing, it can't be a blind date, right?" Wen Zhengchen was also confused, and pulled Zhou Wenbin aside and asked quietly.

"Hey, they made an appointment by themselves, they didn't even notice me, they came directly in the morning, and they said they wanted to attend our party. Zhou Wenbin began to have something on his mind.

"This must be Miss Yun's idea, to test you, brother, you have to show some real skills today. Wen Zhengchen smiled.

"Wrong, it's the idea of the nephew of the old master Zhengjun, I don't know who is coming, it should be a goal. ”

Besides, after listening to it on the sidelines, my heart jumped a few times, and I didn't know what kind of fame that tricky and eccentric Miss Pomegranate would do. But why do you have such expectations?

Wen Jie whispered in his ear, "It can't be for you, is it?"

Besides, he shook his head and said in the same low voice: "I don't know, but if you stay away from that young lady, she is the best at playing tricks on people." ”

"Hey, it looks like you've suffered her loss. Wen Jie smiled knowingly.

Besides, he didn't argue that although he had fought with that Miss Pomegranate, he couldn't talk about who suffered whom. The eldest lady ran away in anger in the end, and that was true.

You can't be here to smash the scene, right?

Thinking of this, my heart hung again. Look at Zhou Wenbin again, it looks even more sad than himself. The moment the two looked at each other, they pretended to be completely indifferent.
